Basic Information on Copyright Infringement
Copyright Copyright Infringement DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) Infringement Notice Enforcement Fair Use of Copyrighted Work HEOA (Higher Education Opportunity Act) Illegal File Sharing Legal Alternatives Online Piracy Peer-to-Peer Networks Summary of Civil and Criminal Penalties for Violation of Federal Copyright Laws Copyright - (noun) the exclusive right to produce copies and to control an original
literary, musical, or artistic work, granted by law.
The creator of the original work has legal control over their work and how it is used and
distributed. Since the work is protected by the law, the creator has the right to take
legal action against anyone who uses their work without permission and outside of
“Fair Use‟.
Copyright Infringement - (noun) violation of the rights of a copyright.
If you are downloading music or movies or videos, and you do not have permission from
the owner, in the eyes of the law, you are stealing – and there are hefty penalties.
You may purchase and download content from a legitimate source. You have the right
to use that content. However, that may not give you the right to distribute that content
to others.
Being a student does not give you immunity.
DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) Infringement Notice
For all the details of the DMCA, go to http://www.copyright.gov/legislation/dmca.pdf
Franklin Pierce is considered an internet service provider and complies with DMCA.
Upon receiving notice from our provider of a copyright infringement, the University will
track down and notify the person who is charged with copyright infringement and deny
access to the illegal copies of the copyrighted content. The issue will then be turned
over to Judicial Affairs.

Enforcement
Unless purchased legitimately for your own use, it is against the law to download
copyrighted content. Unless you have express permission, it is illegal to share
copyrighted content.
Disciplinary Action: The University is responsible for investigating possible violations of University code and enforcing rules, which could result in the monitoring of stored material and/or disciplinary action. All allegations of abuse of this policy will be handled by the judicial system. See Student Computer Use Policy, Student Code of Conduct.
Financial Penalties: Penalties for copyright infringement include civil and criminal
penalties. In general, anyone found liable for civil copyright infringement may be ordered
to pay either actual damages or "statutory" damages affixed at not less than $750 and
not more than $30,000 per work infringed. For "willful" infringement, a court may award
up to $150,000 per work infringed. A court can, in its discretion, also assess costs and
attorneys' fees.
Being a student does not give you immunity.
Fair Use of a Copyrighted Work
The section of the copyright law (http://www.copyright.gov/title17/92chap1.html#107) that defines Fair Use says:
“the fair use of a copyrighted work…for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting,
teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an
infringement of copyright.”
Uploading and downloading materials for non-academic use does not fall under the protection of Fair Use.
The Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008 (HEOA)
(Pub. L. 110-315)
Added provisions to the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended, (HEA) requiring institutions to take steps to combat the unauthorized distribution of copyrighted materials through illegal downloading or peer-to-peer distribution of intellectual property.
These requirements were effective upon enactment of the HEOA, August 14, 2008.1 On
October 29, 2009, the Department published final regulations implementing the statutory
requirements (74 FR 55902). These regulations go into effect July 1, 2010.

Illegal File Sharing
There are programs (P2P) written specifically for file sharing. Using these programs to download the files for free so that you do not have to purchase the copyrighted materials is illegal. If you do not have permission from the owner, or if you have not paid a fee for the right to download the file, chances are you are illegally downloading the file and you are breaking the law.
Legal Alternatives
There are dozens authorized sites where you can purchase or stream copyrighted content.
Some popular music sites are:
Amazon: http://www.amazon.com Apple iTunes Music Store: http:/www.itunes.com Google Play: http://play.google.com Pandora: http://www.pandora.com Spotify: http://www.spotify.com
Some popular video streaming sites are:
Amazon: http://www.amazon.com Netflix: http://www.netflix.com Hulu: http://www.hulu.com Apple iTunes Music Store: http:/www.itunes.com YouTube: http://www.youtube.com
Online Piracy
Uploading, downloading, and/or sharing of copyrighted files without the owner’s permission is referred to as online piracy. Engage in online piracy and you could be charged with and possibly convicted of a felony called copyright infringement .

Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Networks
Peer-to-Peer (P2P) software and networks are mostly used for illegally downloading and
sharing of copyrighted content. Buying the P2P application does not make the files you
download legal.
Since the files shared over P2P networks are usually copyrighted works, you are putting
yourself at risk for downloading content from these networks. To avoid these risks, there
are services on the Internet that allow you to legally purchase copyrighted works online.
By purchasing the content legally through these services, you not only avoid the risk of
copyright infringement, but you also reduce your exposure to computer viruses and
spyware.
Franklin Pierce University actively blocks P2P networks to deter illegal sharing of copyrighted content.
Summary of Civil and Criminal Penalties for Violation of Federal Copyright Laws
Copyright infringement is the act of exercising, without permission or legal authority, one
or more of the exclusive rights granted to the copyright owner under section 106 of the
Copyright Act (Title 17 of the United States Code). These rights include the right to
reproduce or distribute a copyrighted work. In the file-sharing context, downloading or
uploading substantial parts of a copyrighted work without authority constitutes an
infringement.
Penalties for copyright infringement include civil and criminal penalties. In general,
anyone found liable for civil copyright infringement may be ordered to pay either actual
damages or "statutory" damages affixed at not less than $750 and not more than
$30,000 per work infringed. For "willful" infringement, a court may award up to $150,000
per work infringed. A court can, in its discretion, also assess costs and attorneys' fees.
For details, see Title 17, United States Code, Sections 504, 505.
Willful copyright infringement can also result in criminal penalties, including
imprisonment of up to five years and fines of up to $250,000 per offense.

IFAP - Dear Colleague Letters
https://ifap.ed.gov/dpcletters/GEN1008.html[2/26/2019 1:34:55 PM]
Publication Date: June 4, 2010
DCL ID: GEN-10-08
Subject: Institutional requirements for combating the unauthorized distribution of
copyrighted material by users of the institution's network
Summary: This letter reminds institutions that participate in the Title IV, HEA programs of
the new requirements for combating the unauthorized distribution of copyrighted material
by users of an institution's network. This letter also provides a sample summary of civil
and criminal penalties for copyright infringement that may be used by institutions to meet
one of the requirements of the regulations.
Dear Colleague:
The Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008 (HEOA) (Pub. L. 110-315) added provisions to
the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended, (HEA) requiring institutions to take steps to
combat the unauthorized distribution of copyrighted materials through illegal downloading or
peer-to-peer distribution of intellectual property. These requirements were effective upon
enactment of the HEOA, August 14, 2008.1 On October 29, 2009, the Department published
final regulations implementing the statutory requirements (74 FR 55902). These regulations
go into effect July 1, 2010. The final regulations are available at
http://www.ifap.ed.gov/fregisters/FR102909GeneralandNonLoanProgrammaticFinalRule.html
.
This letter describes the requirements of the final regulations and provides a sample
summary of civil and criminal penalties for copyright infringement that may be used by
institutions to meet one of the requirements of those regulations.
Institutional plans
Under 34 CFR 668.14(b)(30), an institution, as a condition of participation in any Title IV,
HEA program, must have developed and implemented written plans to effectively combat
the unauthorized distribution of copyrighted material by users of the institution's network
without unduly interfering with the educational and research use of the network. An
institution must include in its plans:
IFAP - Dear Colleague Letters
https://ifap.ed.gov/dpcletters/GEN1008.html[2/26/2019 1:34:55 PM]
The use of one or more technology-based deterrents;
Mechanisms for educating and informing its community about appropriate versus
inappropriate use of copyrighted material, including the consumer information an
institution must provide, upon request, in accordance with 34 CFR 668.43(a)(10)
(described below). These mechanisms may include any additional information and
approaches determined by the institution to contribute to the effectiveness of the
plans, such as including pertinent information in student handbooks, honor codes,
and codes of conduct in addition to e-mail and/or paper disclosures;
Procedures for handling unauthorized distribution of copyrighted material,
including disciplinary procedures; and
Procedures for periodically reviewing the effectiveness of the plans to combat the
unauthorized distribution of copyrighted materials by users of the institution's
network using relevant assessment criteria. It is left to each institution to determine
relevant assessment criteria. No particular technology measures are favored or
required for inclusion in an institution's plans, and each institution retains the
authority to determine what its particular plans for compliance will be, including
those that prohibit content monitoring.
In recognition of the diversity among institutions and how technology is continuously
evolving, it is up to an institution's discretion to determine how many and what type of
technology-based deterrents it uses as a part of its plans-although every institution must
employ at least one. Technology-based deterrents include bandwidth shaping, traffic
monitoring, accepting and responding to Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA)
notices, and commercial products designed to reduce or block illegal file sharing. An
institution also has discretion to determine what relevant assessment criteria are for
reviewing the effectiveness of its plans. In some cases, appropriate assessment criteria
might be process-based, so long as the institution's information system information does
not contradict such a determination. Such process-based criteria might look at whether
the institution is following best practices, as laid out in guidance worked out between
copyright owners and institutions or as developed by similarly situated institutions that
have devised effective methods to combat the unauthorized distribution of copyrighted
material. In other cases, assessment criteria might be outcome-based. The criteria might
look at whether there are reliable indications that a particular institution's plans are
effective in combating the unauthorized distribution of copyrighted material. Among such
indications may be ''before and after'' comparisons of bandwidth used for peer-to-peer
applications, low recidivism rates, and reductions (either in absolute or in relative
numbers) in the number of legitimate electronic infringement notices received from rights
holders. An institution is expected to use the assessment criteria it determines are
IFAP - Dear Colleague Letters
https://ifap.ed.gov/dpcletters/GEN1008.html[2/26/2019 1:34:55 PM]
relevant to evaluate how effective its plans are in combating the unauthorized distribution
of copyrighted materials by users of the institution's networks.
Offering of legal alternatives
34 CFR 668.14(b)(30) also requires that an institution, in consultation with the chief
technology officer or other designated officer of the institution, to the extent practicable,
offer legal alternatives to illegal downloading or otherwise acquiring copyrighted material,
as determined by the institution. An institution must periodically review the legal
alternatives for downloading or otherwise acquiring copyrighted material, and make the
results of the review available to its students through a Web site or other means.
The Department anticipates that individual institutions, national associations, and
commercial entities will develop and maintain up-to-date lists that may be referenced for
compliance with this provision.
Consumer Information
Under 34 CFR 668.43(a)(10), an institution must include information regarding
institutional policies and sanctions related to the unauthorized distribution of copyrighted
material in the list of institutional information provided upon request to prospective and
enrolled students. This information must:
Explicitly inform its students that unauthorized distribution of copyrighted material,
including peer-to-peer file sharing, may subject a student to civil and criminal
liabilities;
Include a summary of the penalties for violation of Federal copyright laws; and
Describe the institution's policies with respect to unauthorized peer-to-peer file
sharing, including disciplinary actions that are taken against students who engage
in illegal downloading or unauthorized distribution of copyrighted materials using
the institution's information technology system.
Under 34 CFR 668.41(c), an institution must provide to enrolled students an annual
notice containing a list and brief description of the consumer information it must disclose
and the procedures for obtaining this consumer information. An institution must add to
this list information regarding institutional policies and sanctions related to the
unauthorized distribution of copyrighted material. Consistent with current regulations (34
CFR 668.41(a)), an institution must provide this annual notice on a one-to-one basis
through a direct individual notice to each enrolled student. This notice must be made
through an appropriate mailing or publication, including direct mailing through the U.S.
IFAP - Dear Colleague Letters
https://ifap.ed.gov/dpcletters/GEN1008.html[2/26/2019 1:34:55 PM]
Postal Service, campus mail, or electronic mail. Posting on Internet or Intranet Web sites
does not constitute notice. If the institution discloses the consumer information by
posting the information on a Web site, it must include in the notice the exact electronic
address at which the information is posted, and a statement that the institution will
provide a paper copy of the information on request.
Although an institution is required to disclose the required information only to students,
we encourage institutions to make the information available to employees and the
general public if they believe it will be beneficial.
Sample summary of Federal civil and criminal penalties
The Department has worked with representatives of copyright holders and institutions to
develop a sample summary of the civil and criminal penalties for violation of Federal
copyright laws (34 CFR 668.43(a)(10)(ii)) that an institution may use to meet the
requirement that an institution include such a summary in the information it provides
upon request to prospective and enrolled students. The use of this sample summary is
optional.
Summary of Civil and Criminal Penalties for Violation of Federal Copyright Laws
Copyright infringement is the act of exercising, without permission or legal
authority, one or more of the exclusive rights granted to the copyright owner
under section 106 of the Copyright Act (Title 17 of the United States Code).
These rights include the right to reproduce or distribute a copyrighted work. In
the file-sharing context, downloading or uploading substantial parts of a
copyrighted work without authority constitutes an infringement.
Penalties for copyright infringement include civil and criminal penalties. In
general, anyone found liable for civil copyright infringement may be ordered to
pay either actual damages or "statutory" damages affixed at not less than $750
and not more than $30,000 per work infringed. For "willful" infringement, a court
may award up to $150,000 per work infringed. A court can, in its discretion, also
assess costs and attorneys' fees. For details, see Title 17, United States Code,
Sections 504, 505.
Willful copyright infringement can also result in criminal penalties, including
imprisonment of up to five years and fines of up to $250,000 per offense.
